[Q] - Do I need to root my Desire?

hi all,
i just got myself a Telstra Desire. have been using HD2 for a while and decided to go onto the Android bandwagon.
In HD2, i know what to do for flashing ROM but not in android.
my question here is do i need to "root" my Desire if i want to install this ROM onto my Desire "RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe"?
My main purpose is to remove all the Telstra branded bloatware on my Desire.
Thank you for replying.

You do not need to root to install a RUU, you will need to create a gold card (search Google)

If you run into difficulty with creating the Gold Card, try using the Gold Card tool in my sig below.

I'm in the same situation. I just gave my wife a Desire for Xmas and want to know if it is necessary to root the device to flash a custom ROM. And if so, can I use unrevoked3 to do so?

Yes, to flash a custom (unsigned) rom, then you will need to root your desire, you can use unrEVOked for this. If you are branded, then all you require to flash official (signed) roms (like the official ruu posted above) is a Gold Card to unlock your phones CID.

[Q] Memory problem

I try apps2sd but it doesnt working.
first I have 900mb free on SD,and 7mb free on internal memory.
If I try to move apps from phone there isnt any apps that can be moved on SD
So I can install some bigger apps or widgets.Please someone help
I dont have rooted phone so i cant move all apps to my SD
p.s.Sorry for my english

because dont have root, same apk isn't move to sdcard

But how can I than get free space

You have to have root. You can try deleting the cache of apps you don't use much. But without root, that's about all you can do.

you can try out this tutorial here:

Its a way to enable apps2sd for all apps and does not require root. Just don't move widgets to sd because they will not work
And thanks if it helped =D

Root your htc then install data 2 sd and link 2 sd These two apps will do it But remember after rooting u wont be able to update your firmware.

Thank you guys.But I dont know how to root.And im afraid that im going to brick it if I try.

just place the root.zip into the root of your sd card. Then in clockworkmod recovery, press choose zip from sd card, then click yes to the root.zip file. It should be rooted after that. Its very simple.
But you can also use the other tool where you click 1 to prep device and 3 to root or something like that.
Remember to thanks if it helped =D

Rooting is nowhere near the problem it used to be. You can safely root using the method described. Just follow the instructions carefully.

The tool you are probably referring to is the HTC Super Tool.

Make sure of several things:
1. Put the UPDATE.APP in a dload folder on your sd card.
2. Make sure the sd card is formatted as fat32.
3. Make sure that no USB is plugged in while you try to update.
4. Make sure that you have more than 50% battery.

here is that file modified for t-mobile users, this is how you use it:
1) Make sure you are S off and preferably super cid but not required.
2) I would recommend having the Rom of you choosing (sense) on the SD card already (Sky Dragon v9.1 is what i would highly recommend http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2700571)
3) Place file in the link on root of SD card
4) Place phone in boot loader and let the file extract itself and install
5) Phone will reboot, when it does so delete the file on you SD card, or remove it all together(thats what i did) cause if you don't you will be unable to get into recovery.
After that reboot into recovery and install said ROM.

Does this ROM have Wi-Fi calling for T-Mobile customers?
Does the camera app work properly (with the Duo Camera)?

So the modified file is the GPE ROM? Sorry, I'm a bit confused by your post and the instructions. The GPE conversion process seems a bit more complicated that what you laid out.
Thanks.

[Q] Android Revolution HD 8.1 install question

Hello, i have 2 questions before installing this rom on my unlocked AT&T htc one m8.
1. can i put the rom on my external micro sd card, and not in virtual SD card, so i can flash it from the external sd card.
2. Most important, I got my htc one m8 from AT&T in the U.S, but i unlocked it, and put viper rom on it. and i'm using it in europe.
Now i want to try this rom, but i missing important info:
In the install process, can i chose "htc one (internional)" - As i using this in EU, and not the second option? (U.S AT&T).
Or this is not recommended, and might hurt my device?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards

For question 1 yes you can install it from ext-sd but internal sd is safe.Also you can try from usb-otg.
For qs-2 It wont hurt your device.If you are supercid you can choose any one you like.But I would recommend that you try the international option.Best of luck in flashing.

what is that? i dont have s-off if thats what you mean. i only open bootloader and flash the viper rom via the toolkit.
Should i still be able to chose the international option?
